FROM THE EDITOR

CUSTOM KITCHENS, BATHROOMS AND MEDIA WALLS

“Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.” This quote by Arnold Bennett, has been my motto for the last few months. Lately, my life has been full of change. Since life is about adapting to change, this month’s issue of The Grand Season is about embracing change. I know that I’m not the only one adjusting to family moving, ongoing health issues, or the loss of a loved one. Since change is a reality of life, I hope you’ll be encouraged to embrace the drawbacks and discomforts with a positive attitude.

BIG NEWS!

Watch for details about our NEW SHOWROOM and NEW DESIGN options coming this Fall!

STOP BY OUR SHOWROOM TO SEE OUR NEW DISPLAYS AND LEARN ABOUT OUR CURRENT SPECIALS!

Now that October is fully upon us, it’s time to get those home improvement projects completed prior to the holidays. I’d encourage you to reach out to our advertising partners—I know they’ll make your home beautiful. Thank you for your support of The Grand Season and our advertising partners. We couldn’t share this incredible journey without you!

THE GRAND SEASON • OCTOBER 2026

Running a machine that isn’t full not only wastes energy and water, it also wastes your money because you are paying to run more washes. Always fill the machine — but remember not to overload it! This applies to both your dishwasher and your clothes washer. Spring bulbs need a few weeks in the ground to get established before the first of the frosts. If you’re just getting around to planting your spring bulbs, here is a great garden design tip: Use kebab skewers to figure out the bulbs’ placement in the garden. Felt circles are great for putting under small appliances on the kitchen counter. They shift better, but they don’t scratch the countertops. You can find them at the hardware store, or make your own custom ones by cutting out what you need from a piece of felt and attaching it to the bottom of your appliance with doublestick tape or even a drop of glue! To help repel the dust on baseboards between cleanings, wipe with a used dryer sheet. To make this even easier, you can put the dryer sheet over a Swiffer-type floor cleaner. WWW.THEGRANDSEASON.COM

CROSSWORD SOLUTION FROM PAGE 24

OCTOBER 2026 • THE GRAND SEASON

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren. Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.” Sue Royer Director
